ULTIMATE AFRICA

Mattepaintings in a nature show? Yes, taking advantage of my matte skills, I created several matte painting to enhance my series, and for the re-creating sequence about the father and son team, Bernhard and Michael Grizmeks for my Serengeti Episode.

The only copyright free image was available courtesy of the Dornier Aircraft company of the DO 27 on the runway in Germany. I need the plane in the Serengeti. Also the airplane was modeled in 3D Max and animated in Maya.

DOODLE BOPS

Doodle bops was perhaps my favorite contract, as I got to play an important role as one of the senior artist. I provided all the mattepaintings for seson 2, and was the key designer in the doodlebops tour bus's paintjob.
